REPORT OF INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS TOPIC “INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION 4.0, GLOBAL DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION – OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES FOR VIETNAM LABOR FORCE”

ABSTRACT The world is starting to enter the fourth industrial revolution, a new revolution associated with unprecedented breakthroughs in technology, involving Internet connectivity, cloud computing, 3D printing, sensor technology, virtual reality. This new technology revolution is expected to have a strong impact on every country, government, business and people around the globe, as well as fundamentally changing the way we live, and work. The nature of the fourth industrial revolution is based on digital technology platform and integrates all smart technologies to optimize processes and methods of production. The new era of investment, productivity and rising living standards will have a profound impact on the worlds political, social and economic systems and pose challenge for business leaders of this opening and economic integration period. With a lofty goal and mission, it is the mission of cultivating people. Higher education has an important role to play in the development of society. Education not only trains people with good knowledge and expertise but also people with good moral and physical qualities, effectively serving the socioeconomic development associations of each country, each ethnic group. The industrial revolution 4.0 with its rapid development speed and profound effects on all areas of the social life of each country, if left behind of this revolution, backward development is also inevitably. On the contrary, if you make good use of the advantages of this revolution, the opportunities are huge. In the digital era, higher education will change profoundly from the educational environment, the role of teachers and learners to teaching methods. Currently, not only Vietnam but also many countries around the world are facing the big challenge of a shortage of highly qualified, specialized, and skilled workers. Therefore, to renovate higher education to meet the requirements of the labor market, it is necessary to raise awareness and renew thinking on higher education development; renovating training programs and methods; applying technology to the teaching process; renew the model of linkage between universities and enterprises, improve the quality of teachers and administrators. This is also the development direction that Vietnam needs to prepare for incessant changes in the future. 3 INTRODUCTION The fourth industrial revolution (IR) has been coming. This is an unprecedented revolution in human history as it will evolve very quickly a combination of technology in the fields of physics, digitalization and biology, creating completely new possibilities and has a profound impact on the worlds political, social and economic systems. This IR 4.0 will create a world in which the global virtual and physical systems of the production chain can work together flexibly. IR 4.0 is not just about machines, smart and connected systems, but also much overall. At the same time are waves of further breakthroughs in different areas ranging from gene sequencing to nanotechnology, from renewable energies to quantum computing. It is and promises to create tremendous benefits and a strong impact on the world economy as well as the Vietnamese economy. IR 4.0 will first have a strong impact on production, making a big change in manufacturing methods, the convergence between physical and digital applications to create the universal Internet, the Internet of Things (IoT). Business landscape will change rapidly, extending the entire value chain from development research to manufacturing, logistics to customer service, significantly reducing transaction and delivery costs. In this process, IoT will impact all industries, from production infrastructure to health care. By changing production methods when there are modern technologies that can connect the real and virtual worlds, people can control the process at home but still cover all activities of factory through the Internet excellence. For the commercial sector, this IR 4.0 firstly reduces the transaction and delivery costs significantly. For the investment field, with the nature of the IR 4.0, technology is the most attractive and potential investment segment of investors in the coming time, especially digital technology and Internet. But this revolution can also create greater injustice, especially causing the risk of breaking the labor market. When automats replace people in the entire economy, workers will be redundant. While technological innovation often leads to higher productivity and prosperity, the rate of change will also create a great pressure due to the shift of labor resources. Workers at factories during the IR 4.0 will have new jobs with different requirements and in a work environment or organization that is no longer the same as it is today. The IR 4.0 will grow strongly due to the need to find new, more sustainable and effective production methods with 4 challenges such as climate change, population aging or other security issues. This revolution will bring many development and integration opportunities, but at the same time poses many challenges to developing countries like Vietnam. Research questions: What are the opportunities and challenges for higher education in general and Vietnam in particular? What should be done to innovate higher education in the current Industrial Revolution 4.0 in Vietnam? METHODOLOGY The paper uses a combination of research methods, such as historical and logical methods, collation and comparison, analysis and synthesis, inductive and interpretation, statistical methods from reference sources to serves in research and article presentation. Main findings the industrial revolution 4.0 has actively contributed to the cause of educating people, fostering talents, training human resources for socioeconomic development. However, this revolution also brought negative aspects to Vietnamese higher education. Developing higher education in the context of industrial revolution 4, it is required that the Government have appropriate solutions and policies in the coming time. The research findings can be used to provide key planning recommendations for the development of higher education in the context of industrial revolution 4.0. 5 Literature Review Awareness and problemsolving education in the industrial revolution 4.0 is a large topic, attracting the research interest of many scientists and sociopolitical organizations in countries around the world. Research on higher education. JeanJacques Rousseau mentioned the role of education in the formation and development of human personality in particular as well as the advancement of society in general, educational objectives, and methods. He also deeply and deeply evaluates educational principles, the interaction between teachers and learners as well as builds a future education that he calls natural education and later. His name is closely linked to this natural education philosophy. Along with this topic, John Dewey presented on the philosophy of active education the true value of knowledge in applying that knowledge, the vitality of knowledge is that knowledge is associated with the action; on the role and function of education; the thought of building a progressive education is an active education with specific educational goals, flexible, creative, suitable for nature and achieving social efficiency; and education in a democratic society an education that cares about the problems of ordinary people in society. In Vietnam, Thomas J. Vallely discussed the history of Vietnams educational development over the past decades, especially emphasizing 6 efforts to overcome various challenges to achieve current achievements, in which, he spends more than eight pages discussing policies for developing teaching staff and educational management, mobilizing all resources in society to develop education. Finally, the report draws on three lessons learned: firstly, the Vietnamese government has always considered education and training, science and technology to be the top national policy; Secondly, the Vietnamese education system must be developed fundamentally and comprehensively in the direction of democratization, socialization, diversification, standardization, and modernization; Thirdly, the innovation in educational management in Vietnam starts from new thinking about educational development. Marxist views on the cause of education; educational science and educational development experience; educational development direction; the role of education in economic, social, political development and several issues posed to our education sector when entering the twentyfirst century. The following studies, presenting the current educational situation of our country, the context, opportunities, and challenges for our countrys education in the next few decades, the views guiding the development of education; education action programs have concretized the goals, guidelines, policies, and solutions for educational development in Vietnam. The Fourth Industrial Revolution The Revolution of Convergence and Savings has summarized the most basic features of the fourth wave of the industrial revolution taking place and attracted the special attention of the masses; the nature and impact of the fourth industrial revolution on 7 the world labor market, security, and defense. In anticipation of some of the effects of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, countries around the world have come up with breakthrough policies to take advantage of the opportunities and overcome the challenges brought by them. guaranteeing human rights before the impact of the industrial revolution 4.0, the study said: “Technology has the power to free us from drudgery or to decimate livelihoods, and the choices that governments and companies make will often determine the difference”. Research results Overview of the industrial revolution 4.0. In recent times, industrial revolution 4.0 has been mentioned a lot on social media. To be fully aware of industrial revolution 4.0, it is necessary first to summarize industrial revolutions in the history of human development. Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, said that the world had experienced three industrial revolutions, namely: The first industrial revolution lasted from 1760 to about 1840. The catalyst was the construction of railroads and the invention of steam engines, paving the way for mechanical manufacturing. The second industrial revolution, which began around the end of the nineteenth century into the twentieth century, opened up opportunities for mass production thanks to the advent of electricity and assembly lines. The third industrial revolution began in 1960. It is often called the computer revolution or the digital revolution because the catalyst was the development of semiconductor components, the host computer (1960s), the personalities (1970s and 1980s), and the internet (1990s). This was the period when automation machines replaced most of the human functions and brought the industrial society to the information society with the quick and cheap reception and information among businesses, production units, and consumers have become an important channel for people to conduct production and business activities as well as the way people enjoy. Referring to industrial revolution 4.0, Klaus Schwab said: “The fourth industrial revolution formed based on the digital revolution and incorporated many is driving the rapid transformation of the unprecedented model in terms of economy, business, society, and 8 individuals. It not only changes what we are doing, how we do it, but who we are”. On 04052017, Prime Minister signed Directive 16CTTTg on strengthening the capacity to approach Industry 4.0, description: “Industry 4.0 with the development trend based on the foundation the high level of integration of the digital physicalbiological connection system with the breakthrough of the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence is fundamentally changing the worlds production base”. From that, it can be conceived: industrial revolution 4.0 is the integration between the fields of technology, digital, biology, a combination of virtual and real systems, internetconnected systems; is the development of productive forces to meet increasingly intelligent needs for society. In essence, Industry 4.0 is the development of a productive force at the level of its peak to meet the smarter needs of society with the basic feature of integration among technology fields, digital, biology, is a combination of virtual and real systems, internet connection systems. The Industrial Revolution 4.0 spread around the world today is because the speed of development and the impact of technological breakthroughs have unprecedented powerful effects. Inventions and scientific advances are present in all fields, such as artificial intelligence, robotics, the internet of things (IoT), selfdriving cars, biotechnology, Nanotechnology, 3D printing, materials science, quantum computers, etc. affect almost every industry at such a rapid pace that it is said that the fourth industrial revolution is developing at a rate of the exponential function. From the viewpoint and nature as above, industrial revolution 4.0 has the following characteristics: i) Industrial revolution 4.0 is a fusion of technologies, blurring the boundaries between the fields of physics, digital, and biology. This revolution is changing the way manufacturing and manufacturing of machines are connected to the internet and linked together through a system that can visualize the entire production process and make decisions that will fight replace the previous production line; ii) Industrial revolution 4.0 can open a new era of investment, productivity and increasing living standards. The successful application in the field of robotics, the internet of things, big data, mobile phones, and 3D printing technology, so that the interaction process is faster, more convenient, and more accurate, helping to minimize production processes, reduce costs, increase labor productivity, product quality, improve competition in the context of globalization; iii) Industrial revolution 4.0 takes place with the unprecedented speed, scope and impact level in history. The speed of 9 current breakthroughs is unprecedented in history. Compared to previous industrial revolutions, this Industry 4.0 is growing at an exponential speed rather than linear speed. In summary, the impact of industrial revolution 4.0 is expected to make profound changes in the socioeconomic situation of the nations as well as Vietnam. Vietnam is trying to promote industrialization and modernization develop the knowledge economy, raising the level of science and technology (Communist Party of Vietnam, 2016), in which the information technology field is defined as the key economictechnical sector, and an important driving force to promote production forces, national competition, realize the strategy of shortening development, fast and sustainably. Therefore, the application of achievements of industrial revolution 4.0 can open up new opportunities for the socioeconomic development of Vietnam in general, the development of education and training in particular. Higher education in the context of Industrial Revolution 4.0 Industrial revolution 4.0 creates opportunities as well as sets essential requirements to build 4.0 education. education, education becomes an ecosystem where everyone can learn together anytime, anywhere with connected devices. The educational organization becomes an ecosystem that creates creative products of individuals, with knowledge and capacity for innovation and creativity of individuals. Education 4.0 has a great change in training goals and methods, moving from imparting knowledge to the masses to unleashing potential and empowering individuals to create. Teachers will move into a new role as designers, catalysts, mentors, and creators of learning environments. With digitized learning content, learners will have their learning path, can choose content suitable for training goals. The digital learning system also provides feedback on learning performance along with recommendations for additional learning content.

Overview of the industrial revolution 4.0

In recent times, industrial revolution 4.0 has been mentioned

a lot on social media To be fully aware of industrial revolution 4.0,

it is necessary first to summarize industrial revolutions in thehistory of human development Klaus Schwab, founder andexecutive chairman of the World Economic Forum, said that theworld had experienced three industrial revolutions, namely: Thefirst industrial revolution lasted from 1760 to about 1840 Thecatalyst was the construction of railroads and the invention ofsteam engines, paving the way for mechanical manufacturing Thesecond industrial revolution, which began around the end of thenineteenth century into the twentieth century, opened upopportunities for mass production thanks to the advent ofelectricity and assembly lines The third industrial revolutionbegan in 1960 It is often called the computer revolution or thedigital revolution because the catalyst was the development ofsemiconductor components, the host computer (1960s), thepersonalities (1970s and 1980s), and the internet (1990s) Thiswas the period when automation machines replaced most of thehuman functions and brought the industrial society to theinformation society with the quick and cheap reception andinformation among businesses, production units, and consumershave become an important channel for people to conductproduction and business activities as well as the way peopleenjoy

Referring to industrial revolution 4.0, Klaus Schwab said:

“The fourth industrial revolution formed based on the digitalrevolution and incorporated many is driving the rapidtransformation of the unprecedented model in terms ofeconomy, business, society, and

individuals It not only changes what we are doing, how we do

it, but who we are” On 04/05/2017, Prime Minister signedDirective 16/CT-TTg on strengthening the capacity to approachIndustry 4.0, description: “Industry 4.0 with the developmenttrend based on the foundation the high level of integration ofthe digital -physical-biological connection system with thebreakthrough of the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence

In summary, the impact of industrial revolution 4.0 isexpected to make profound changes in the socio-economicsituation of the nations as well as Vietnam Vietnam is trying to

"promote industrialization and modernization develop theknowledge economy, raising the level of science andtechnology" (Communist Party of Vietnam, 2016), in which theinformation technology field is defined as the key economic-technical sector, and an important driving force to promoteproduction forces, national competition, realize the strategy of

"shortening development", fast and sustainably Therefore, theapplication of achievements of industrial revolution 4.0 canopen up new opportunities for the socio-economic development

of Vietnam in general, the development of education andtraining in particular

Higher education in the context of

Industrial Revolution 4.0

Industrial revolution 4.0 creates opportunities as well assets essential requirements to build 4.0 education education,education becomes an ecosystem where everyone can learntogether anytime, anywhere with connected devices Theeducational organization becomes an ecosystem that createscreative products of individuals, with knowledge and capacityfor innovation and creativity of individuals Education 4.0 has agreat change in training goals and methods, moving fromimparting knowledge to the masses to unleashing potential andempowering individuals to create Teachers will move into anew role as designers, catalysts, mentors, and creators oflearning environments With digitized learning content, learnerswill have their learning path, can choose content suitable fortraining goals The digital learning system also providesfeedback on learning performance along with recommendationsfor additional learning content

The scope of interaction in education 4.0 is very large, thedistances in geography, space, and time are erased The

educational environment does not only take place within theschool but extends to the global scale.

Learners can actively study materials as well as interact withlecturers at any time using computers or smartphones Thedevelopment of online learning forms helps learners save time,effort, and costs Augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR)technology is widely used to help learners experience andpractice skills.

In education 4.0, thanks to the application of AI, Big Data,and IoT technologies, school leaders and lecturers can collectdata, analyze and accurately evaluate learners; Monitor thelearning process at home, check the completion of assignmentsand notify the results to students and families Even AItechnology can replace teachers in some stages such asattendance, grading, lesson preparation, and support for foreignlanguage teaching

Currently, large technology corporations have launchedmany smart devices and software for education For example,Google Education Kit (G-Suite for Education) provides freeWord, Sheet, Slide, Google Docs helps learners create and editdocuments online, for free Chroma Key technology creates aminiature studio for learners to produce media productsthemselves Cloud technology provides learning software on theInternet that uses an account

However, industrial revolution 4.0 also poses significantchallenges on the level of society in general and highereducation in particular The labor market is in danger ofcompletely changing as robots fought replace workers.Statistics of the International Federation of Robots show thatthe rate of robotization in the global industrial sector is reaching

a very fast threshold, led by South Korea with the rate of 631robots per 10,000 employees The International LaborOrganization (ILO) forecasts that, in the next two decades,about 56% of workers in five Southeast Asian countries,including Vietnam, are at risk of losing their jobs because ofrobots (VTV New, 2017)

Vietnam is becoming a country with high technologydevelopment potential, with millions of new jobs in the softwaresector However, as automation replaces human resources inmany fields, workers need to adapt quickly to the change of

production Therefore, the university as a place to provide level human resources for society, must also comprehensivelychange both in terms of model, program content, and trainingmethods.

high-With about 60% of the population of working age, Vietnam isstill in the golden population period for at least another 20 years.However, due to a serious shortage of skilled workers and skilledtechnical workers in human resources, the competition index ofVietnam's human resources only reached 3.39/10 points and theability competition of the Vietnamese economy ranked 73 out of

133 countries Currently, about 52% of Vietnam's population usesthe internet, and it is forecasted that by 2020 there will be about100,000 employees working in the field of information technology.These are very important foundations and advantages that manyhigh-tech corporations such as Fujitsu, Intel, Samsung, Siemens,Acatelare taking advantage of to expand investment in Vietnam

The current labor force of our country is not lacking inquantity, but it lacks in professional knowledge, weak inproblem-solving, leadership, and communication skills, leading

to low labor productivity (only 4.4 percent) % Singapore; 17.4%

of Malaysia; 35.2% of Thailand; 48.5% of the Philippines and48.8% of Indonesia) With such a situation, the advantage oflow labor costs in Vietnam is fighting its attractiveness toforeign investors

In the industrial revolution,4.0 interaction between devicesand between devices and people will create a new product.Several new skills will be required mandatory for employeessuch as problem-solving skills, critical thinking, communicationskills, collaboration, creativity, new change This is theimportant point of the following direction, make change theprogram Training and forming new major reform in universitiesbut also requires all elements to be "learned" for employees inthe industrial revolution 4.0

The training and scientific research activities ofuniversities also face new reform and competition requirementsbefore the development of Industry 4.0 Many corporationshave great scientific, human, and financial potential, have anadvantage in the race to turn knowledge into service products,and have many practical experiences that researchers,university Teaching students do not have Besides, free trade inglobal higher education services competition betweenuniversities and abroad in attracts students

Challenges and opportunities for

Vietnamese

Given the development of higher education in the context

of industrial revolution 4.0, Vietnamese education has basicadvantages to accept the development opportunities that thisindustrial revolution brings Vietnam has a big advantage in thepopularity of smartphones and the internet According tostatistics, the number of internet users in 2018 reached 64million, accounting for 67% of the population Vietnam can be inthe top 10 countries with the highest percentage of peopleaccessing the Internet, with about 80% of the population usingthe internet by 2020 Particularly in the social network segment,

as of January 2018, there are 55 million people use, accountingfor 57% of the population The high percentage of Internetusers in the population is one of the initial conditions to helpVietnam access education 4.0 faster

The Vietnamese government has always paid attention tothe cause of education, especially in the context of rapidlydeveloping science and technology The Eighth Conference ofthe 11th Party Central Committee issued Resolution No 29-NQ/

TW on a fundamental and comprehensive renovation ofeducation and training to meet the requirements ofindustrialization and modernization in the context of a socialist-oriented market economy and international integration, onNovember 4, 2013 The Prime Minister issued Directive No.16/CT-TTg on increasing access to the Public Revolution Fourthcareer (May 4, 2017) The Ministry of Education and Traininghas developed a Project to support students and students tostart a business by 2025; Project on capacity building oflecturers and managers of higher education institutions to meetthe requirements of a fundamental and comprehensiverenovation of education and training in the period of 2019 -2030; The overall higher education development strategy forthe period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2035, is the basis forinnovation, comprehensive development and long-termsustainability of the higher education system

Many educational institutions have proactively approachednew waves of educational technology to deploy training based onmass open online courses (MOOCs), bringing AR and VR into
